Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I also emailed Rep a Pierson last night and got a reply this morning from the Chief of Staff that was very similar to the other person on the list that posted this morning. I emailed the Chief of Staff thanking her for the promptness of the response and offered to assist in any way to help get this bill passed.

Pierson and this is the reply that was sent to me about the bill. It seams that EMS of ALL types are included. Below it the email I was sent. Mr. Verrett, Thank you for your email. Rep. Pierson did add Emergency Medical Services personnel to the bill during committee. Although that was included in the information we provided about the bill, the press failed to include that in their stories regarding the hearing and the passage of the bill in committee. Rep. Pierson has a regard for emergency medical service personnel, which is why we changed the bill to include EMS providers. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by calling . Best, Amps Chief of Staff Rep. a Pierson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
